What the Complaint Data Suggests
Editorial interpretation of NHTSA public complaint data. Source: nhtsa.gov. Complaints are owner-submitted and do not confirm a defect. Methodology
With only 19 complaints and 1 recall across a single model year, data is too sparse to draw strong conclusions. Electrical faults and transmission/drivetrain issues are the most reported areas, but no crashes were linked to complaints. Buyers should approach with caution due to low data confidence.
Year context: Compared to earlier Corvette years with more complaints, the 2022 has very few reports, but confidence is low due to the single-year sample.
Recall context: The single recall means at least one safety defect was officially identified, so verifying recall completion is essential before purchase.
- Electrical faults account for 6 of 19 complaints, the most reported component.
- Transmission/drivetrain issues total 5 complaints, the second most common.
- No crash-related complaints were reported, but data confidence is low.
- Electrical faults: 6 complaints suggest potential wiring, battery, or module issues.
- Transmission/drivetrain: 5 complaints may indicate shifting or driveline problems.
- Structural problems: 2 complaints could involve body or frame integrity.
